Hi Bettie, I do believe in the 12 steps, somewhere along the line I detoured and stopped going to GA. I am using other methods to stay GF. Funny, the other day when I was having urges, I got my GA booklet out and read the 12 steps. I think sometimes we are just oversensitive. I used to take everything to heart and wanted everyone to like me. Now, like me for who I am, and I can let alot more bounce off me than before. But when someone is being disrespectul, I do react. We will see how my Father’s Day cookout goes today. I hope everyone behaves (adults). Have a good day!!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, why didn’t your Sister have everyone bring something? I’m hosting the Father’s Day Cookout, but everyone is bringing something. It’s soo much easier that way. I worked out 5 days this week. I do feel it. Monday will be a month. I am pushing myself as there are some mornings where I’d rather stay home, but I think of the outcome and it does make me feel better. I’m glad that your Sister didn’t send you into gambling. It’s funny when we think of all the things that made us want to gamble. We are just getting stronger! How is your speach of GA going? Take care!Seize all the good things in life
P.S. Maybe we could motivate each other to workout!!!!Seize all the good things in life
HI Bettie, I love the squat machine at Curves. But everytime I’m doing a workout, someone there complains about that machine. Most people don’t like it. I’m not doing the Curves Smart yet. On the 20th of this month it will be one month of Curves. Maybe soon!! I can’t even get my heartrate where it’s supposed to me on the stepper machine. I am taking beta blockers for my heart and it keeps my heartrate lower. But that’s ok, I am working out hard, and believe me I’m a sweatball when I’m through! LOL!! I haven’t lost weight, but I am losing inches. My pants are looser aroung my stomach and thigh area. My Daughter even remarked while we were swimming tonight that my stomach looks smaller. Yeah!!! I’m eating healthier and I do feel better, more energy. Why bother Bettie? Because I need you, everyone needs you here. It will help with your diabetes too!! You know you have the will power. Look at all the weight you have lost before. Amazing!! What a honor to be asked to tell your story. We talked this last weekend on your thoughts about how you were going to put it all together. It sounds awesome to me. Wish I could be there to hear you. You will be great!!!!Seize all the good things in life

HI Bettie, Soo sad about your neighbor and his Sister. And you are such a good person being there for him. I can only imagine how much he appreciates it. After my heart attack, I was blessed to have a friend who lives in my condo complex. She brought dinner over to my Husband and for a week, and called me or came by daily to see how I was when my Husband was working. I never expected it and it was soo awesome to have someone care soo much. I will never forget about how kind she was. You do something for yourself with the gift card, you deserve it. OMG! When my Dad was dying from heart failure due to his emphysema (from smoking), I would smoke like a fiend. It was a awlful death, and my Mom and I were still smoking. She just celebrated 1 year smoke free, cold turkey. I am soo proud of her!!! I can relate about the fish. I love fishing, but was never one to clean or behead them. Always had someone else do it for me. LOL!!! Have a great Sunday friend, you deserve it!!!!Seize all the good things in life
